How to add one website to another website?

Question

everyone.

I am working on a website based on Yii2 through localhost. I want to add changes i made to the actual server. But i want to keep the old version and new version of the website working together.

What i mean: if i type

http://url.com

i access the old version and when i type

http://url.com/something

i access the new version.

How can i accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Simple, make a subdomain: http://www.url.com and http://old.url.com.

This way

• Your document_root variables will stay intact
• You don't need to prefix '/something/' to all your resources
• http://www.url.com/something remains accessable in case you (unforseenly) need it

Answer 2

1. Go to your web dir and copy entire page.
2. Make a new folder and name it something
3. Paste the entire web in that folder.
4. When you go on www.example.com you'll have one page, when you go on www.example.com/something, you'll go on this bacukped or newly created page.

BUT

when doing that and before doing any actual changes, backup your database also.

hope that helps.
